2 Samuel 11:1-2

Revised Geneva Translation

11 And it happened at that time, after the year had expired, in the time when kings go forth to battle, that David sent Joab (with his servants and all Israel). And they destroyed the children of Ammon and besieged Rabbah. But David remained in Jerusalem.

² And when it was evening, David arose out of his bed and walked upon the roof of the king’s palace. And from the roof he saw a woman washing herself. And the woman was very beautiful to look upon.
